About Colorado Springs

The Bible is God’s bold and loving message to the world. We believe it is the instruction manual for all of life and reveals the lives of real people and the heart and character of a real and loving God.

Leaders and Staff

Our Governance

The focal point of church governance is the elder. Our Board of Elders serves both as the spiritual leadership and covering for Colorado Christian Fellowship (CCF) and as the Board of Directors for the legal entity, Colorado Christian Fellowship, Inc. Our elders are accountable to God on behalf of the church.

Our Elders

Phillip F. Smith, Jr.

Phillip F. Smith, Jr. (Apostle Phil) was raised in Massachusetts. He attended Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in Judaic studies. In 1992, he moved to Denver to attend the University of Denver College of Law and graduated with honors in 1995. While in law school, Apostle Phil simultaneously prepared for ministerial service in a local, Denver-area Methodist church and was ordained as a Deacon in 1994. In 1998, he was prompted by God to found Colorado Christian Fellowship (CCF), a non-denominational, Full-Gospel church where he serves as senior pastor. After two years, due to CCF’s rapid growth, Apostle Phil stopped practicing law in order to serve the church full-time. It was also during this time that the Lord clarified his call to ministry, calling him to the Five-Fold ministry office gift of “Apostle” and assigning him to do ministry throughout the state of Colorado. Through CCF, he is fulfilling his apostolic call to plant churches and train and release God’s people for ministry. Apostle Phil is a dynamic Bible teacher who illuminates the Word of God through the unique anointing on his life and ministry. He is married to Sylvia, whom he met while attending Brown University. They have two children, Dominique and John-Rudolph. (back to top)
